I just wanted to mention how great it feels that I did meet my first target weight of the weight loss challenge for Q1! My goal was to lose 32 lbs in the first 3 months. I lost 32.4! WooHoo! Talk about close!
I can’t tell you how beneficial it has been for me to write everything down – goals, calories, foods, tracking, etc. I feel like this is really helping me to stay motivated and accountable. It’s so easy to "forget" about bites of food that we put into our mouths when we’re not writing it down. I also feel that over the long term the tracking of everything will help me to get through rough patches or plateaus. I think that my tracking will give me information that will help to push through plateaus and keep me motivated if and when the weight does not seem to be coming off.
Today I celebrate Q1 and a real feeling of accomplishment and victory! Hey, I’m officially 1/4 of the way to my goal of losing 128 lbs AND I am on track with timing to do this in a year! I do realize that this first quarter will probably be the fastest in terms of the weight loss and I’m prepared to have to adjust my goals as I go.
How are you doing? Please do share, no matter where you are in YOUR weight loss challenge. I’d love to hear from you! 🙂
